Don't forget my Spring Fling Giveaway! You can still enter to win here. Winner will be announced on the 15th.
This week the weather has been just plain out CRAZY. We went from snow and ice to beautiful 80 degree weather. All that gorgeous sunshine has me wanting to spend the days outside and eating lighter summer foods. I'm so ready to plant my garden and reap the benefits of homegrown veggies. Can you believe the weather is changing yet again tonight? Goodbye beautiful, hello freezing rain and 30 degree temps. My sinuses are going to go bonkers. Rocotillo Pepper Pasta Salad with White Balsamic Dressing

1 Rocotillo pepper (sliced)
1 Banana pepper (sliced)
3 small onion (sliced)
1 large can black olives
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
In a large bowl whisk, oil, vinegar, and mustard. Toss in pasta, tomato, peppers, onion, olives and mix together. Fold in Parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!

I can't wait to plant my garden too! We don't have room for a veggie garden but I do plant a huge herb garden in hanging porch pots. I miss having fresh herbs at my fingertips. :)
